Computer Shopper, January 1987 provides an expansive overview of the computer technology landscape at the time, with a special emphasis on emerging and popular hardware and software options.
The magazine kicks off with a spotlight on the 80386 computers showcased at Fall COMDEX, setting the stage for a series of articles that explore various computing topics. These range from the retail distribution strategy of Hyundai's blue chip, an overview of the fastest laptop (NEC MultiSpeed), to an exciting look at what's in store for technology in 1987.
Several articles provide insights into new software solutions, such as the INT.EXE for listing interrupt vectors, Prodesign II CAD System for 3D modeling, Carousel! Software for memory enhancement, and Lightning—a disk cache program. For hardware enthusiasts, there's a review on the VEGA Deluxe Extra High Resolution Graphic Adapter and the C.Itoh 333-CPS, 24-Pin Dot Matrix Printer, amongst others.
For PC users, the magazine presents reviews and guides on a variety of related topics like AT&T's new PC Plus Model, a low-cost scanner, a floppy drive for portable computers, and an article on making an XT run like an AT. Macintosh users will find the latest on new SCSI external hard drives and LaserWriter password concerns.
The Commodore section offers information on PC2COM—an IBM to Commodore interface standard and some best buys for 1986. The Amiga Workbench features, along with an article titled "The Amiga: A Computer For The Right Hemisphere", give an inside look into the use and potential of Amiga computers.
There's a focus on Atari ST and how it stands up against Amiga in the Atari ST vs. Amiga Round 2 article. The magazine also touches on Sanyo with a market trend analyzer, and Texas Instruments.
The book review section provides a curated list of the top 10 computer books of January 1987, including "The Tao of Programming." The Heath/Zenith, Timex-Sinclair, and miscellaneous sections offer valuable insights into those computer brands and other diverse subjects like the UNIX operating system and digitizing scanners.
Finally, there are classifieds, an advertiser index, a service directory, and various user groups and bulletin boards. The magazine ends with a fascinating piece titled "Stan Veit's History—Computer Camelot", reflecting on the history and development of computer technology.
